eview: The electon-volt One ev is the enegy to move an electon though a potential diffeence of one volt. Note this is a unit of enegy, not potential. This is not an SI unit but is used in all pocesses involving electons, atoms, etc. U qv So if V1 and qe then: U 1 ev e V (1.6 10 19 C ) (1V ) 1.6 10 19 J

High enegies Fo X-ay machines, acceleate electons with potentials of thousands of volts, so we speak of kinetic enegies in kev. In nuclea physics, acceleatos poduce beams of paticles with enegies in MeV. In elementay-paticle physics, high-enegy paticles beams have enegies measued in giga-volts: GeV. 3 10 6 10 9 10 ev ev ev

Electic Dipole The combination of two chages of equal but opposite sign is called a dipole. If the chages +q and q ae sepaated by a distance d, then the dipole moment p is defined as a vecto pointing fom q to +q of magnitude p qd. q p + q

TODAY: Cuent and esistance Chaptes 6, 7 Ohm s Law Ideal Metes Souces of Voltage and Powe esistos in seies and paallel
Cuent is ate of flow of chage If you watch closely at a fixed point as cuent is flowing along a wie, the cuent is the amount of chage that passes by pe unit time. SI unit is the Ampee: 1A 1C/s. Example: In a cathode-ay tube, n 3x10 15 electons leave the electon gun pe second. What is the cuent of this electon beam? Solution: 15 19 4 ne 3 10 1.6 10 5 10 C / s 0. 5 ma
Cuent and esistance When a cuent flows though a pefect conducto (e.g. coppe wie) thee is no change in potential. When cuent flows though an impefect conducto (esisto) thee must be a field E to make it flow and thus a change in potential V Ed fo a distance d. If the cuent I is popotional to the field E which is causing it, then it will be popotional to the potential change V. This is Ohm s Law and the popotionality constant is called the esistance. V I
Notes on Ohm s Law This is not a fundamental law of natue like Gauss s Law. It s just a popotionality which is appoximately tue fo some mateials unde some conditions. The entie electonics industy is based on mateials which violate Ohm s Law. Ohm s Law should eally be witten as a potential dop V I because if you follow the cuent the potential deceases.
Micoscopic Fom E V / L I / L JA/ L Jρ So we define esistivity ρ: ρ L / A and cuent density j: J I / A So the micoscopic fom of Ohm s Law is E Jρ
esistance So fo a given object (esisto) we can measue its esistance V/I. The SI unit of esistance is the ohm (Ω). Clealy 1Ω 1V/A (ohm volt/amp). Thus esistivity ρ has units Ω-m. But emembe Ohm s Law is only an appoximation. Fo example, esistance nomally changes with tempeatue.
Example: Poblem 6-15 A wie is m long, with a diamete of 1 mm. If its esistance is 50 mω, what is the esistivity of the mateial? ρ ρl / A A/ l 10 8 ( 3 ) ( 3 50 10 Ω 0.5 10 m) π Ωm (Note this is consistent with table on page 689.)
Voltage and Powe Souces When a battey o any othe voltage souce delives a cuent i at a potential diffeence V it is supplying powe P iv. U qv P t t iv When a cuent i flows though a esisto with a voltage dop V, a fiction-like pocess called Joule heating convets this powe PiV into heat.
Note on P I V This is the easiest equation in the wold to emembe, IF you know what the thee quantities mean: enegy chage enegy voltage cuent chage time time powe
Ideal Metes V Ideal ammete Measues cuent and has zeo potential dop (zeo ) a A b Ideal voltmete Measues V ab V a -V b but daws zeo cuent (infinite ) Ideal wies V is constant along any wie (zeo )
Example Mete A eads i A flowing upwad as shown, and mete V eads V 6V. a A V b (a) What is esistance? V / i 6V / A 3Ω (b) Which point is at the highe potential, A o B? Point A because potential dops by 6 volts.
EMF Electomotive foce (emf) is not a foce: it s the potential diffeence povided by a powe supply. Fo a battey poviding a cuent i, the teminal voltage V is less than the emf E because thee is an intenal esistance : i E i V E i V
